Quantitatve easing is NOT going away. Every major country is running a deficit. If they are all net borrowers then who is the lender? The central banks. For this reason – QE is not going away for a long time.
Lenders look at potential borrowers from many angles before extending credit: How much of its income will a household need to put into debt repayment? How large is the down payment? Does the borrower have a job with a stable income? What is the borrower's credit score?
As the run-by-capital society of producers turned since into the run-by-capital society of consumers, I would say that the main, indeed "meta", function of the governments has become now to assure that it is the meetings between commodities and the consumers, and credit issuers and the borrowers, that regularly take place.
Human beans are for Borrowers—like bread’s for butter!
Debt is always repaid, either by the borrower or by the lender.
We are renters and borrowers and, in the end, only thieves.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be.
Control your generosity when dealing with a chronic borrower.
